Mr Marshall was one of the most caring and kindest person I have known. Those of us who knew him through Student Services thought the world of him. There was never an unkind word that could be said about him. He was respected by us all, even when he had to deliver bad news to us about what we had to do in our job. He cared about those of us who worked in Student Services. He worked hard to help us and give us what we needed to do the best job we could. He will be missed.

The world could use a lot more people like Mr. Marshall. He made the world a little bit better ever day by his wisdom, by his kindness and by just being who he was-a really good person.
The angels in Heaven are rejoicing as Mr. Marshall takes his place at the right-hand of the Father.
Well done Mr. Marshall.
